Is Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Connected to JJK?
Now, the biggest question is whether Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is related to the main Jujutsu Kaisen series in any way? Well, the answer is a big yes, as you might have caught from the title. Gege Akutami has confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo will be a spin-off manga set in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. While the Modulo manga is not a direct sequel, it can be considered a spin-off sequel similar to how the Boruto series is to Naruto.
Next, if you are wondering how Gege Akutami connected his new manga to his magnum opus work, JJK, this answer is going to blow your mind. Remember Okkotsu Yuta and Maki Zenin, who are in the list of the strongest JJK characters of all time? Well, their grandson, Okkotsu Tsurugi, and granddaughter, Okkotsu Yuka, are the new protagonists leading the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo series.
Apart from the new human and alien characters, Gege Akutami has also made sure to include cameos of some of the main characters from the prequel JJK manga, such as Yuji, Nobara, etc in the latest JJK Modulo chapters.
What Is the Story of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo?
Since JJK Modulo is a spin-off manga, you might be wondering what Gege has in store for us apart from the sorcerers vs. curses we had in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Well, the answer is it’s sorcerers vs. aliens, along with curses this time. After Simurians (an alien race) unexpectedly land on Earth, the sorcerers are in a dire situation to figure out whether to co-exist or clash against them.
As part of this mission, Yuta’s grandchildren, Okkotsu Yuka and Tsurugi, who aspire to become the strongest sorcerers, get caught up in this conflict and need to find a way for co-existence with the Simurians.
You can also check out the official synopsis of the JJK Modulo, according to Shueisha’s Manga Plus here:
It’s been 68 years since the Culling Game. In 2086, an alien race known as the Simurians arrive on Earth in a spaceship. The fate of the world lies in the hands of two jujutsu sorcerers Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu. Jujutsu sorcerers and aliens, what chaos will be born from this meeting?
What Year Does JJK Modulo Take Place?
Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is essentially confirmed to take place several decades after the events of the main JJK series, in 2086. So, if you are looking for a proper JJK Modulo timeline, i.e., how many years after JJK is Modulo set, we have deduced it based on the already established timeline of the JJK series. The main events of the JJK series starring Yuji, Nobara, Megumi, and more were set in 2018.
Therefore, we can certainly say Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo takes place nearly seven decades after the main events of the JJK series. We have detailed JJK Modulo’s timeline in a dedicated article.
Who Are the Main Characters in JJK Modulo?
As I mentioned earlier, Okkotsu Yuta and Maki Zenin’s grandchildren lead the Jujutsu Kaisen series. In the JJK spinoff, Gege has introduced a new trio – Yuuka, Tsurugi, and Maru. Furthermore, there are many more important characters, so here are all the main characters of JJK Modulo so far:
- Okkotsu Tsurugi: The grandson of Yuta and the elder brother of Yuka. Mentioned to have very minimal cursed energy, like Maki and Toji used to do. Aims to become a strong sorcerer like his grandma, Maki, and return the ring to his sister.
- Okkotsu Yuka: She is Yuta’s granddaughter, who vows to become strong to acquire Grandpa Yuta’s ring.
- Maru: A Simurian (an alien race from outer space), assigned the mission to gather intel about humans to decide whether they can co-exist with them or not on Earth.
- Cross: Also a Simurian and the younger twin brother of Maru. Although his brother takes the spotlight, Cross is still a main character of the series.
- Dabura: Acts as the frontman and protector of the Simurians, and he aims to nullify the curse placed on his sister.
- Yuji: Yuji Itadori, the protagonist of JJK, also appears in JJK: Modulo and plays a significant role in settling things between humans and Simurians.
Are There Aliens in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo?
In a surprising twist of events, Gege Akutami is incorporating the mysterious concept of aliens into his new manga Modulo. Yes! Aliens are now canon in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. The new series starts with Simurians, aliens who also possess cursed energy, seeking refuge on Earth. An alien character named Maru is confirmed to be one of the main members of Modulo’s protagonist trio. The aliens play a vital role in exploring the themes of co-existence in JJK: Modulo manga.
What Is the Meaning of Modulo?
There is no clear definition for the mysterious term Modulo at the time of writing. However, we tried to break down the term, and the best we could come up with was “Boy Who Consumed Curses” or “Boy of a Hundred Curses.” Moreover, it is the Japanese transliteration of the English word Modulo used in the title. We recommend checking the meaning behind the Modulo theories article to try to figure out the reason.
